Q Station Sydney Harbour National Park 4 stars

Unique place to stay and explore. Good on-site facilities. Staff very helpful and obliging.

The hotel surprised is with how well it catered to small kids. Breakfast was fantastic, the rooms really comfortable and reception staff really helpful and knowledgable. Had a nice dinner at the restaurant and enjoyable walking tour. Ross was so passionate about the site and great to listen to.

Transport, rooms and free tour excellent. Staff on the whole friendly and pleasant. However, we didn't choose the booked meal restaurant . We chose to eat in the second restaurant. Where do we sit? Outside there. None of the tables are made up. Choose one. Please order and pay and we will bring the food and drinks and cutlery/serviettes to your table. OK. We'll have two cone barramundi and one plate of chips and two beers. That'll be $96 Sir. But the menu I hold here which they handed us at Reception says each plate of barramundi is $26 and the chips $10 and the two beers $16. The new price Sir for barra is $34, chips reduced to $8. I was nonplussed. I see you are upset Sir, let me give you each an extra beer of your choice. These second beers never arrived! I also bought an off-yellow tin mug inscribed 'Q Station'. One turn in my dishwasher and the inscription has disappeared. I have the exact same tin mug (different colour) from the Daniel's Den Hotel near Cooktown Northern Qld. Two and a half years washing in that same dishwasher and the inscription is still there. I would like a refund on this faulty souvenir which cost $7.50 as against the $5 in Northern Queensland (send the cheque to T. J., PO Box 2229, Rose Bay North NSW 2030).

comfortable, quite and interesting place with loads of history in a pretty cool setting

We enjoyed our stay, unfortunately the weather was not so pleasant we got very wet checking in.

Lovely, quiet location. Excellent staff, great meals and a comfortable and clean room.

We were pleasantly surprised with the whole Q Station experience.

This was the 6th Year that our women's group has spent the weekend at Q Station on the second weekend in February. We book two cottages side by side. We all spent time living in Wagga Wagga in the past and although now scattered around NSW, we have met up for weekends for over 20 years. One of our group died of breast cancer a few years ago. She loved Q Station and for that reason it seams to be the right place for us to get together. We always enjoy ourselves at Q Station, usually talking, eating, swimming and walking. This year we faced the challenge of the storms. However we got a couple of breaks in the weather and enjoyed some walks and managed to fill in our time in indoors. The cottages were nice and weather proof and we could still enjoy the views of the Jabour. Loved the additional decor for the cottages and new kitchen items such as crockery, utensils and cooking items. This was great for our group as we enjoy self-catering so we can sit around and chat. Only two suggestions for improvement 1) better recycling within each cottage / unit with a designated recycling bin and collection - at present it appears that the cleaners just add the separated recyclables into the general waste. 2) instructions for the induction cook top in case it is needed. We definitely intend to come again next year.

I love the atmosphere at the QStation. The original renovations were so sympathetically carried out, you get a great sense of the history, but with just the amount of mod cons. I love that the rooms aren’t too modernised, ie, not air-conditioned. I love that you can’t take cars onto the property. I love the communal feel when you chat to the people in the next room on your shared outside area. I especially love the rooms with the separate bathrooms. There’s nothing like walking around to your bathroom early in the morning and seeing the first Manly ferry go past! I love the on-site restaurant, the Boilerhouse. I love the cosy breakfast room with a wonderful array of great brekkie food. I love all the friendly staff from reception, shuttle drivers, room service and restaurant and bar staff. They must all like working there! What I missed from previous visits though: I think there were proper jams and marmalade at breakfast in the past. Now, there’s just the individual portions in lots of plastic. I couldn’t see the tea and coffee facilities in the common sitting rooms that I’ve enjoyed before. There wasn’t a plug in our bathroom for either the wash basin nor the bath. (Not that I would have had a bath due to water restrictions in place at the moment.)

All good except the food at the Boilerhouse. The staff tried but the quality and price of the food was poor. We ate there on 2@nights .The very heavy rain made it almost impossible to leave the site and dine elsewhere.

Was very well organised from Check in to the time we left. Thanks!

Unpleasant lady at check in and no bath mats dirty bath on check in. Clicking noise from ceiling fan not suitable when trying to sleep and had to call six times to have room serviced.

Weather was a bit ordinary but stay was lovely. Everyone was friendly and super helpful and really enjoyed the history and the experience

Excellent. Love the position and view. Friendly staff.

Area is terrific, rooms and food fine
